Effects of low-intensity laser therapy on the stability of orthodontic mini-implants: a randomised controlled clinical trial

Abstract

Despite evidence of some significant differences in resonance frequency between mini-implants exposed to low-intensity laser light over a 10 weeks period there were no differences in mini-implant stability. Low-intensity laser light cannot be recommended as a clinically useful adjunct to promoting mini-implant stability during canine retraction.
